Hello.
What kind of combination of keys enter the "download mode" mode?
Vol down plus power does not work on the off U12 +, and under the system it even diminishes in dignity despite pressing "power".
Vol UP and power also does not work.
Boot to Bootloader and than select Download Mode with volume buttons (working for me).
From system you can try:
adb reboot download

Click to collapse
(not checked)
Since u12+ has no physical button,and the edge sense doesn't support combine key,the method to enter the bootloader is special.
STEP.1 Press POWER button for 10s to hard reboot,you should feel a long vibration.
STEP.2 When you feel the vibration,press the VOL DOWN button immediately.Keep pressing it until you enter the bootloader.
STEP.3 Use VOL UP&DOWN to switch,POWER to enter

Thank you, for me step 3 is VOL UP. I tested it again and it is confirmed.
An other method for me is POWER OFF and then restart with POWER BUTTON pressed until vibration and then press VOL UP.

Good question. I am missing a twrp developing thread as there are already guys testing, but they only posted in the ordering threads:crying:
It works a little bit different on all treble A/B enabled devices. Those got two boot images, boot_a and boot_b, and don't have a recovery partition any more, as it got incorporated into the boot partitions, and is thus sharing it's space with the kernel. All previous device as well as treble A-only ones still had a separate recovery partition. But that very fact changed with such devices as the U12+ which got full treble support with seamless updates.

Has anyone succeed to run the stock recovery?
After booting in recovery mode I see a red triangle and cannot get any further. Power+VolUp and any other key combinations seems doesn't work.

The haptic keys don't work in combination, only one-at-a-time, so there must be some other way.

Lol, I take it this is your first Android phone? That's the normal stock Recovery. As it was said before, combination of buttons do not work. In Bootloader and Download Mode the volume buttons are switching selections and power selects the highlighted option.

On the older HTC's you could hold volume up and down then press power to enter the stock recovery options. I remember doing this with the M8 I think, it's been quite a while. Lets see if I remember how to embedd images, lol
Nope, lol

Yes I understand that part for combo buttons to enter recovery, bootloader and download. Now it is power down and restart holding down volume down button. However there is nothing to do while in stock recovery.

I didn't explain fully, my bad. When you accessed the stock recovery with the red triangle with the exclamation mark, that's when you held power down, up and press power to access the screen shot I attached before. Those were the stock recovery options.
It's irrelevant at this point since I don't think they include those options anymore for the newer stock recoveries. I could be wrong though.
I haven't tried to boot into the stock recovery in years so I haven't checked if it was included in the latest phones. I'm supposed to get my 12 today, I'll try to play around and see if it's included in this one, but I'm not holding my breath.
Edit: I love your themes BTW.

This works on all HTC devices prior to 12+. The question is only about the subj phone.
Easiest way - From powered off state, hold Vol down button and connect the usb cable to either power outlet or a PC, will boot to download/recovery/ etc .

There is no problem to boot into FastBoot mode and then choose any other option: Download/Recovery/System.
The issue is that I can't pass Recovery Red Triangle. HTC support also recommends to hold Power while pressing VolUP, but this does not work on U12+ with the haptic buttons.

So I flashed CleanROM 3.0.
The problem is, I always mess up the button presses when rebooting to recovery. On my Atrix (CM7), and my Transformer (Revolver), there was a simple "boot to recovery" option.
Anyone know of a method to get this done on the HOX?
Not really being a noob, but my fingers aren't very coordinated...lol.

In Clean ROM, just hold down the power button and choose reboot > reboot bootloader.
Or download a reboot app from Google Play such as Quick Reboot.
Quick boot works well
This is a bit silly but I can't seem to be able to get into the bootloader if my phone is off.
I can get into it by when it's on by holding Vol Down when resetting it but holding Vol Down while holding the power button when it's off doesn't seem to be working. If I let go of Vol Down, it just boots up normally.
most of the time I'm booting to recovery my phone is connected to my computer because I've just put a ROM on SD card storage
so I just adb reboot recovery

Don't let go of volume down at all until it's in bootloader.

Disable Fast Boot (settings > power).
Yeah disable fast settings but I always have problems too. What I do, I hold power and volume down, and if it doesn't work I let go of power FIRST. Then the next time I try it almost instantly boots into BL. But most ROMs have "reboot into recovery" option under the reboot when you hold down the power button while the phone is actually booted up. Every ROM I've tried on here does including CM9.
Turns out I wasn't holding it down for long enough, especially compared to my old Desire which was much quicker.
Thanks.
Thanks guys, I completely missed the option in the power menu while hitting restart lol.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to flash a custom ROM, and every method requires me to unlock the bootloader via HTCdev, but I have two problems:
1) I can't boot into bootloader. When I hold power + volume-down, the phone boots into safe mode (I don't think that's normal right?). I took care of this by using adb and (adb reboot bootloader) to get into the bootloader.
2) When I'm in the bootloader, the power button (to make any selections) doesn't work. So I'm always stuck at the last screen that says "Unlock bootloader?" and I just have to select "yes" with the power button, but I simply can't!
Does anyone know how I can get the bootloader to work normally, or get my power button to work when I'm in fastboot?
Thanks in advance!

Read the screen on your phone , you got to use volume up or volume down button to select yes or no , i think volume up is for yes and than press power

Maybe certain fastboot commands may help a little, if the power button is damaged. (Maybe take off the back cover and see if you can then push it down properly..)

If I recall correctly,
vol down means moving down on the list

When you are in that screen that i showed you, what happens when you press Volume up , does it select on the scree YES unlock the bootloader (may avoid you warranty) ? If yes it select's than press power button to continue... and you will unlock you bootloader if not i don't have anything else on my mind :/

Volume up works but the power button doesnt
I'm also stuck in this screen for the past week, I got this phone for free, but now I want to root it but I'm stuck in this screen. I've tried several tools like kgs1992utility, hasoon2000's utility, even the windroid tool for htc sensation, but somehow I simply cannot get passed this screen. Is there any adb commands to replace the power button to select?
only the volume down button works, but it works in the opposite way(ex volume down actually takes you up not down) -__-
cant finish power button will not select yes
I am having the exact same problem the power button suddenly will not work on yes but does on no WIERD and very FRUSTRATING

So I had the exact same issue. I pressed the power button and volume down together and the phone rebooted back into the bootloader, this time it says *** UNLOCKED*** at the top of the screen.

My SM-G930S is in ODIN, newest version, I have flashed TWRP, and after the flash, before the booting, pressed Vol down, Home and power, and the phone goes back to download screen.
I've repeated this a number of times, the whole flashing thing and key pressing, and same result.
Please, how to get past and into TWRP?
..... update, was finally able to manually boot into twrp. Things should go well from here.
That key combo is for download mode
For recovery it is volume UP & Home & Power
Thank you.

Easy way to remember, Volume Down = Download mode
Then you don't need to remember the other one as there is only one other mode and one other volume button

well that's strange, as, on my device, from off:
Volume UP + power takes me to download mode... I have done this several times and it asks me to confirm by then pressing down.
AND, from off
Volume DOWN + power takes me to recovery.
and doing a search, via google and xda all agree with me.
.. but thanks
I never said I couldn't get into recovery... I cannot get from odin into recovery without it first rebooting and therefore wiping my flash.
edit: So I tried it anyway, and got back into download mode, which in a way is kinda good news as, my logic, if I can get back into download mode from a reboot then I should be able to get into recovery from a reboot.
Same same but slightly different

I am having the exact same problems and tried exactly the same things. I am just not able to install twrp because of this. ( I read that it overwrites the recovery with the stock one when you are not going straight into recovery mode after installation) I am stuck at the “Samsung Galaxy note 10.1” screen if try to go straight into recovery.
What is strange though is that with my device: VOLDown (towards the power button) + Power button takes me to download mode and the other combination supposedly to the recovery mode.
This is so frustrating. Done this so many times with other devices but this one just does not give up… I just want to get rid of all bloatware and other crap…..

It worked! I rooted my device first. After that I flashed my recovery via the TWRP app. I also must say that my device is the GT-N8010 (p4notewifixx). I got confused of all the different models. Still I think it will work with your model aswell! Good luck!

You can boot into recovery without having to plug into a computer by holding power + volume up, and then once you get to the "this device is unlocked, press power key to continue" screen, rather than just waiting for that screen to disappear, press the power key and then you should be taken to recovery... at least, that's how I was able to do it

Are you powering off your phone first? If so wait a few seconds after then hold down both power + volume up buttons at the same time and hold for 10 seconds. It still works for me doing it this way.

This works like a charm. I was about to give up my phone because of this predicament, I didn't want to have any issues restoring my phone in the future in case. THANKS A BUNCH!
It's kinda strange but it is bootloader issue. I am on BTK3 firmware (latest Android 10 release) and i'm experiencing such misbehave of key-kombo to enter ot recovery mode since September or October FW update. Has jus tried to downgrade bootloader to initial firmaware (ATGM) by flashing BL in odin and now i can enter recovery by only pressing vol-up + bixby. It work always. Cables, headphones... nothing needed. just keys-combo.
Then i tried to update BL to latest Android 10 (BTK3) and again recovery mode doesn't work. Only if N9860 connected to PC by cable and even with that it doesn't work for me 10 out of 10 times.
Can someone text/call Samsung support to report this issue ?
BTW thanks to @Mentalmuso for helping me!
Same things happen to Android 11.
Tried to flash on my N9860 old BL over Android 11 firmware (was installed before that, all files AP, BL, CP, CSC), flash was ok, but system was unable to load. constantly bootloops. but i was able again to enter recovery without cable and etc. Tried to wipe cache and factory reset from default recovery but no luck - bootloop.
I thought that game over and old BL is not compatible with new android 11.
But then i wanted to try do the same but with custom binaries (@Mentalmuso TWRP and kernel) and ta-da - system loaded from the first try. For me it's surprise. Now i have Android 11 latest FW for TGY (CUA3) with initial BL from the box (ATGM) and everything looks like working fine. No error in OS, no random reboots (at least after 30 minutes of test) and recovery can be simply loaded only by key combo, without any cables, headphones and PC.
I'm happy now =)
Strange thing is that after fladhing old BL system did not show error message that vbmeta changed and some error in vbmeta header. It was showed always on Android 10. But i flashed twrp again (it has vbmeta inside .zip) to be safe lol.
